Custom Glass Carbon Fibre R33 Projector Headlights Group Buy!


Recommended Posts

haha settle down Philby! they only bump em up to around 85volts

That is what they continously run at once they are operating. Pretty sure on initial ignition it bumps up to around 18-24kV.

is there going to be just a glass lens option available? i dont want to wreck the party but people who have a car worth 8-15k i dont think will be particularly willing to spend 2000-3000 on headlights. i know the HID option will look great and i dont want to criticise you efforts but i think a simple 'glass lense replacement' option using the remainder of the facotry headlight would probably suit the budget of more people on here. maybe add it as an option if it hasnt already been?

i think this is a great idea btw and im interested in the price for a glass lense as i will need a set for my gtr.

Yes the glass lens replacement will most likely be an option. Also the headlights will be under $2000. Honestly I realise it aint for every one, but for certain people that can afford it and want something different it's a great option and i'm really looking forward to it. The amount of money my car (and a lot of others) are worth once you add up every modification, another $2000 really aint the end of the world for something that is a worlds first and will update the look of the car.

oh please dont mention those words 'adding up cost' thats just too scary to think about...

Bring on the new headlights...

Hahahaha so true. To this day I regret keeping an excel spreadsheet of all the costs the car owes me.

I sent Spinto an email to see if there has been any progress; stay tuned.

sounds good, look forward to the final result

UPDATE

Spinto is receiving the projectors in the following week so will start creating the carbon fibre bezels to hold the projector in place. They also want to start making the tooling in the following week for the glass lenses.

They are also experimenting with making the carbon fibre frames for the lenses to try and make it an easy conversion.

I don't think this question has been asked. Will the lenses they make for the carbon fibre set up fit our existing lights or will they only fit their own design. I'm sure there'll be plenty of people after lenses only. If they're not the same as our original lenses can they make a glass replacement. Either way, can we get a price on replacement lenses for the factory light assembly.

I think you have confused yourself a little bit.

Our headlights and these new headlights are the same light assembly.

Ie. You send them your headlights, they pull off the plastic lenses, remove the low beam reflectors, remove the parkers and remove the black surrounds that hold/cover everything on the inside.

Now you are left with the plastic housing that mounts onto your car and the factory high beam reflector mounted inside. Into this the projector is mounted, the new LED parkers are mounted, the new carbon fibre surrounds are mounted and then the glass is fixed onto it sealing it together.

Hope that clears it up a bit.

There is no pricing at the moment, but judging by the price of the Supra glass lenses it would be a safe bet to say the glass lenses would be between $500-$1000, but that is purely my guess.

I'll give the boys an e-mail later on tonight. I don't like to bother them to often as I know it is a long process and there is a lot to be done.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
